A British man is believed to have been killed while fighting against Isis in Syria.

Oliver Hall, 24, is from Portsmouth and had joined Kurdish forces in the war-torn area.

Sources say that he died in Raqqa on November 25 while clearing mines and is the seventh British man to have died in Syria while fighting with the Kurdish-led YPG.

Keving Benton who met Oliver in Syria said: ‘We was so willing to learn, always asking questions and taking everything in. He wanted to stop Isis.’

He is not said to have had any military training but was described as being ‘excited to be there’.

A statement from Mark Campbell, co-chairman of the Kurdish Solidarity Campaign, said: ‘It is with deep regret and sorrow that I can confirm via Kurdish sources in Syria that Ollie Hall, a UK national who travelled to Syria in August to help in the liberation of the Isis city of Raqqa with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), fell on 25 November from an explosion of ordnance left by Daesh after the liberation of the city.

‘Our deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of Ollie at this time.’

Posts on social media appeared to show Mr Hall in Raqqa, wearing camouflage clothing and carrying weaponry, with messages pledging solidarity between the UK and Syria.

The posts were accompanied by good luck messages from friends at home.

Mr Hall’s death comes just over a month after the fatal injury to fellow Briton Jac Holmes, a sniper from Bournemouth, who had fought alongside the YPG since January 2015.

He was also clearing mines in Raqqa when he died.
